“The Government of today is no respecter of law. They don’t respect court orders. There is no constant power supply. There is no good road. There is no good health care facilities.

“Common free education that ought to have been given to our children, primary, secondary is not there. Even University education is not there. We are celebrating 59 years of under-development.”

Taiga called on the Nigerian Government to wake up from their slumber, stressing that they should understand there’s rule of law governing the affairs of the nation.
